The owner of the conference mayuse their extension number as the conference ID. The owner of the conference has control of theconference with the ability to mute and drop calls of participants. All participants will hear thesystem Music on Hold (MOH) until the owner joins, and will hear MOH when the owner drops.Note that any internal party has the option to view and drop participants (not just the conferenceoriginator).

Users can record a personalized greeting for a conference (requires Preferred Edition andVoicemail Pro).

Users can record the conference using Avaya one-X® Portal for IP Office, digital or IP displayphone or a short code (requires Preferred Edition and Voicemail Pro). To prevent unauthorizedaccess to the conference bridge, PIN codes, Caller ID number screening as well as time and dateprofiles can be set-up using Voicemail Pro. One user can manage the conferencing bridge facilityfrom any location.

Conferencing has the following restrictions:

• Only two calls connecting through analog trunks are permitted in any single conference.

• Each external caller requires a digital trunk/VoIP channel (for example 1 T1 allows 23/24external parties, 1 E1 allows 30 parties and a fully licensed VCM-64 allows 64 parties).

• There are no limits on the mix of internal and external calls in conference, but if all internalparticipants disconnect from the conference bridge, the external participants can bedisconnected automatically by the system for added security (configurable system setting).

• System features such as call intrusion, call recording and silent monitoring all use conferenceresources, as does automatic recording if enabled. When any of these features are active thenumber of slots available for conference parties is reduced. For example, a conference callbetween 3 parties and being recorded will use 4 conference slots.

Dial planIP Office has a very flexible numbering scheme for extensions, hunt groups and featurecommands. While the system has default numbering for feature codes and extensions, they canall be redefined. Default extensions and hunt groups have 3 digit numbers starting at 200 butthese can be changed from 2 to 9 digits through the IP Office Manager. There is a default set offeature access short codes, but these can be changed to whatever the end user requires, withinlimits. This is useful for example if IP Office is replacing a system where DND was accessed bydialing *21, it is possible to change the short code to mimic the code of the replaced system.

In certain countries IP Office can support a secondary dial tone when an access digit is dialed,though this limits some functionality like Alternate Route Selection (ARS). IP Office can also beconfigured to work without line access digits, by analyzing digits as they are dialed anddetermining if they are for an internal number or should be sent out on a line - this is valuable inSOHO installations where users will not necessarily be used to dialing an access digit for anoutside line.

Direct Inward DialingDirect Inward Dialing (DID/DDI) relies on the local phone exchange passing all or part of the dialednumber to IP Office.

Call routing software routes the call to an individual phone or a group of phones. Use this featureto reduce the workload on a receptionist by giving staff members or departments individualnumbers for direct calls. Typically, the extension or group number is the same as the digitssupplied from the network, but IP Office can convert the number to another number as neededwithin limits.

In North America, T1 circuits are required for DID.

PagingSupervisors and administrators can broadcast audio messages to digital and IP phones withloudspeakers without having to install a separate paging system. Paging can be to individualphones or groups of phones.

Implementation engineers can configure analog extension ports to an external overhead pagingsystem, usually through an adapter, so that a port can be included in a paging group to permitmixed phone and overhead paging.

Some digital and IP phones can answer a page by pressing a key while the page is going on, thisterminates the page and turns it into a normal call.

Account codesThrough the call records, supervisors and administrators can group calls by account code for thepurpose of call costing and tracking. Supervisors and administrators can also restrict outgoingcalls by requiring users to enter valid account codes.

The system stores a list of valid account code numbers. When making a call or during the call, auser can enter the account code they want associated with that call. The system checks theaccount code against the list of valid codes and requests the user to reenter the code if it is notvalid. For incoming calls, the Caller ID can be used to match it with an account code from the listof valid codes and report the account code with the call for billing.

Supervisors and administrators can designate users to use a forced account code requiring themto enter a valid account code before making external calls. Using short codes it is possible toidentify certain numbers or call types as requiring a valid account code before permitting the call toproceed, for example long distance or international numbers. Analog phone users can only enteraccount codes before making a call or in response to an audible system prompt to enter a codewhen making the call.

Account codes can also be entered through the Avaya one-X™ Portal for IP Office and PhoneManager. A system wide setting determines whether Phone Manager will display a list of accountcodes from which the user can select the code required or will hide the account code list.

In all the cases above, the account code entered is included with the call details in the IP Office'scall record output. (SMDR).

Acquire CallThe Acquire Call feature allows users to take over a call connected to another extension. Thisfeature is also known as Call Steal.

Administrators can set Acquire Call as a short code or assign it to a button on a digital or IP phonewith programmable buttons. This feature is affected by intrusion control settings: the useracquiring a call must be set to be able to intrude and the user whose call is being acquired mustbe set so it can be intruded.

Acquire Call works in two ways:

Without anumber

Allows a user to reclaim a call that was ringing on their phone but has now goneelsewhere, for example to voicemail or a Forward No Answer destination. TheIntrude settings are not checked. The user can reclaim the call even if it has beenanswered. If the last call to ring this user is no longer ringing or connected on thesystem, the feature will fail.

With anumber

Where the number is the phone number of a user who currently has the call to beacquired. If the user has a call ringing or waiting Acquire Call will act like the CallPickup Extension short code and the user executing Acquire Call will be connectedto the oldest ringing/waiting call. If the user has a connected call with no call waitingand the Intrude settings of the two users allow it, the call will be connected to theuser executing the Acquire Call and the other user will be disconnected. If the userdoes not have a call the feature will fail.

Chapter 8: Outbound calling

Depending on the type of business, calls need to be treated in a specific way, such as recordedagainst a project or client through the use of account codes.

A business may have several sites linked through a private network but certain users, like customerservice agents, may need to be able to call colleagues in other offices when the network is busy,while other users wait for a line to come free. Least cost routes can automatically translate theinternal number to a direct dial call over the public network while other users wait.

Authorization codesAuthorization codes allow a user to go to another extension on the system and make calls usingtheir personal toll restrictions; this may grant the user greater or fewer privileges than the normalowner of the extension they use.

Authorization codes are independent of account codes, so the user has to enter both if therequired by the system configuration. All entered codes are logged in SMDR.

Call barringSupervisors and administrators can prevent or allow calls to certain numbers such as internationalnumbers or premium rate numbers for individual users or on a system-wide basis.

The system supports call barring at many levels. Short codes can be used at the system orindividual user level to block the external routing of specific numbers or types of numbers.Typically the barring short codes are set to return busy tone, however they could route the call toan alternate number or to a Voicemail service that returns a 'barred dialing message'.

Users can allocate short codes to a user rights template. The users can then apply the template tothe users whose calls need restriction. Administrators can also bar the forwarding of calls toexternal numbers on a per user basis.

Chapter 9: Inbound calling

Related linksIncoming call routing on page 48Time profiles on page 49

Incoming call routingIntelligent call routing makes routing decisions based on any or all of the following criteria:

• Digits from the exchange such as DDI/DID or ISDN MSN

• Calling phone number or Caller ID or part of the number received such as an area code

• ISDN sub-address

• ISDN/PRI service type such as Voice Call or Data Call

For example, a DDI/DID call to a sales group can be handled differently depending on which partof the country the call is originating from.

Each incoming Call Route supports a secondary destination Night Service that can providealternative routing for an incoming call based on time of day and day of week criteria, as well ascalendar-based routing for specific dates.

Calls that cannot be routed to the configured destination are rerouted to a user-defined Fall Backdestination. This can be particularly useful where calls are normally answered by an auto-attendant and a network fault occurs.

Where multiple call routes are set up to the same destination, a priority level can be associatedwith the call. The priority level determines a call's queue position in place of simple arrival time.

Note:

Calls already ringing a free extension are not considered queuing and are not affected by ahigh priority call joining a queue (unless the option Assign Call On Agent Answer is selectedfor that hunt group).

Supervisors can configure a Priority Promotion Timer to increase the priority of calls which havebeen in the queue for more than a defined time and add and optional tag to calls on the IncomingCall Route, which can be displayed on the alerting phone.

Chapter 10: Hunt groups

A hunt group is a collection of users, typically users handling similar types of calls, for example asales department. An incoming caller wishing to speak to someone in a group can call onenumber and the call can be answered by any number of extensions that are members of the huntgroup.

There are four ways a hunt group can process calls:

Sequential One extension at a time sequentially, always starting at the top of the list.

Collective All extensions in the hunt group simultaneously.

Rotary Start with the extension in the list immediately following the extension thatanswered the last hunt group call.

Longest Waiting Start with the extension that has been free for the longest time period.

AnnouncementsUse voicemail in conjunction with hunt groups to:

• Record all group related messages.

• Play an announcement when the hunt group is in Night Service or Out of Service mode.

• Play announcements while a call is held in a queue.

A broadcast option is available for internal voicemail. This feature changes the voicemail boxoperation so that the message notification will only be turned off for each hunt group memberwhen they retrieve their own copy of the message. Hunt group announcements are separatedfrom hunt group queuing and can be used when queuing is off. Hunt group announcements aresupported by Embedded Voicemail and Voicemail Pro. Administrators and supervisors can settimes for the first announcement, second announcement, and between repeated announcements.

Hunt groups in a small community network can include members located on other systems withinthe network.

Assign Call On Agent AnswerSupervisors can set the Assign Call On Agent Answer hunt group option to enable CTIapplications to correctly report the details for the call that is alerting and ensures that the call at thehead of the queue is always answered first.

Night Service and Out of Service modesOutside normal operation a hunt group can be put into two special modes: Night Service and Outof Service.

Night Service modeUsers can switch in or out of Night Service mode by dialing the appropriate short code. Calls arepresented to a Night Service group. This can be controlled automatically by setting a time profilewhich defines the hours of operation of the main group or manually using a phone feature code.During Night Service mode, the original hunt group is temporarily disabled. You can design callersto the hunt group to do any of the following actions:

• Pass to a Night Service Fallback group passing calls to a manned extension or externalnumber.

• Be played the Out of Hours greeting if set in voicemail.• Receive a busy tone.

Out of Service modeUsers control Out of Service mode manually from a phone. While in this mode, calls are presentedto the Out of Service group. Night service fallback using a time profile is not applied to a huntgroup set to Out of Service.

Overflow groupsSupervisors can designate an overflow group to take calls if all extensions in the hunt group arebusy or not answered.

Supervisors can also set overflow time to stipulate how long a call will queue before passing to theOverflow Group. Overflow time can be set for individual calls and for all calls in the group. Thesystem can change the status of users who do not answer a hunt group call presented to them.The user status can be set to Busy Wrap-up, Busy Not Available or Logged Out. The change ofstatus can be set per user and per hunt group.

QueuingQueuing allows calls to a hunt group to be held in a queue when all extensions in the groupextension List are busy. When an extension becomes free the queued call is then presented. Thedefinition of queued calls now includes ringing calls and calls waiting to be presented for ringing.The queue limit can be set to control the maximum number of calls to wait against a hunt group.

While queuing, if Voicemail is operational, the caller will be played the announcements for thishunt group.

Queue threshold alertSupervisors and administrators can set an alert to occur at a selected analog extension port whenthe number of calls queued against a hunt group exceeds a threshold.

Typically the alert is a loud ringer or other alerting device. The alert does not present a call.

Voicemail operationThe system supports voicemail for hunt groups in addition to individual user voicemail mailboxes.When a caller is directed to voicemail to leave a message, the system indicates the target user orhunt group mailbox. The mailbox of the originally targeted user or hunt group is used. This applieseven if the call has been forwarded to another destination. It also includes scenarios where a huntgroup call overflows or is in fallback to another group.

Previously the unanswered calls to a hunt group were sent to voicemail when reached the group'sno answer time. From 11.1FP1 onwards the unanswered calls are forwarded to the group'sfallback destination, by configuring to an extension number, system short code or voicemail. Theconfiguration is done through the Group > Fallback tab.

• Voicemail On is configured through Group No Answer Destination through Group >Fallback.

• Voicemail Answer Time is configured through Group No Answer Time through Group >Fallback.

Silence suppressionSilence suppression makes the best use of available bandwidth, such as the connection overwhich the caller is listening, not speaking. Silence suppression works by sending descriptions ofthe background noise, rather than the actual noise itself, during gaps in conversation, therebyreducing the number and frequency of voice packets sent on the network. Background noise isvery important during a phone call. Without noise the call will feel very unnatural and give aperception of poor quality. Ensure that silence suppression configuration matches at both ends ofthe SCN trunk for correct operation and also for improved sound quality.

For example, with SIP, the 1100 and 1200series IP phones only support a single call appearance although multiple calls are supported bythe 1100 and 1200 series phones.

Note:

These phones are only supported on IP500 V2 control units.

In pure SIP systems, IP Office expands the feature set beyond the SIP standard offering featureson SIP endpoints delivering features consistently between SIP and Avaya digital and IP endpoints.

Note:

In order to use a non-Avaya SIP endpoint with IP Office, obtain a Third-party IP Endpointlicense from Avaya. This license supports endpoints based on the H.323 standard and isrequired for generic SIP endpoints on IP Office. Avaya IP Office SIP phones use the Avaya IPEndpoint license.

PSTN toll bypassToll bypass allows each system to leverage the trunk connections of the other system in thenetwork to avoid international and long distance charges.

Video conferencingVideo conferencing is supported in the following configurations:

• Local system• Small community network• Video-ready SIP trunk such as Avaya Aura®

All video communication is end-to-end; IP Office does not natively manage or perform videoconferencing.The softphone application handles video conferencing. IP Office video conference supports thefollowing features using feature access codes:

• Make calls to all phones and trunk lines as audio only• Receive audio calls• Call forwarding• Forward to voicemail recording audio streams, not video.• Application sharing• Accept several video calls in parallel to leverage the Multi-Conference Unit (MCU)

functionality, for example, the Avaya 1040 systemVideo requires high network bandwidth, depending on codec video quality it can be up to 1 Mbit/sec. IP Office supports with H.263 and H.264 codecs. During planning, a network assessmentidentifies the bandwidth requirements. Refer to product details for video requirements. Typicalbandwidth requirements for HD video are:

• 1010: 1 Mbps for 720p/30fps• 1040:

- 768 Kbps for 720p 30fps- 1.1 Mbps for 720p 60fps- 1.7 Mbps for 1080p 30fps

Parameters for passing User to User Information (UUI)IP Office passes on the received UUI information element back to the public network in case of atransit call. This feature is supported only on SIP trunks and the UUI information element is notpassed internally to other elements in the solution such as IP Office Contact Center, , and so on.The UUI information is not mapped to any other trunks types such as ISDN or H.323. IP Officecarries the UUI information using a proprietary IP Office field.Two new parameters are added in the SIP Advanced tab, Identity group, called Add UUI headerand Add UUI header to redirected calls. The Add UUI header to redirected calls field is dependenton the Add UUI header field and can be selected only when Add UUI header is selected. Thedefault value for the field is false. These configuration items are a mergeable feature andapplicable to Standard and Server Edition mode on all supported IP Office platforms.

SIP Line AppearancesTrunk line selection enables the familiar line appearance operation on Powered by Avaya(Release 3.0) or IP Office Essential Edition, Server Edition, and IP Office Select. The featureprovides easier migration from familiar analog line appearances to SIP line appearances. Lineappearance buttons for SIP URIs looks and operates in the same way as the analog trunkappearances. SIP trunk appearances is supported on all phones that support line appearances.

Route incoming SIP trunk calls based on an optional SIP headerThis feature enables IP Office to route incoming SIP trunk calls based on optional SIP header P-Called-Party. IP Office reads the P-Called-Party ID header in the SIP message and routes theincoming SIP calls based on it. As P-Called-Party-ID is an optional header it is not parsed bydefault and it has to be explicitly configured. IP Office uses it for call routing only when theconfiguration option is selected and the header is present in the incoming SIP call. If theconfiguration item is checked and the header is not present IP Office uses the header configuredin Call Routing Method for Incoming Call Route. P-Called-Party-ID is not used for SM trunks andSIP phones and IP Office does include this header in any outgoing messages.

Security enhancements for registration of SIP devicesThis security enhancements enable administrators to allow or disallow registration of SIP devicesin IP Office based on their User Agent strings. Administrators can use the configuration settings toadd, modify, or remove SIP User Agent strings to SIP UA Blacklist, SIP UA Whitelist, and IPWhitelist. Subsequently, the Allowed SIP User Agents setting can be used to select which SIPUser Agents are allowed for registering with IP Office. A default blacklist comes preconfigured withsome known malicious user agent strings and can be updated as required. The lists can beconfigured using Web Manager and Manager.

SIP and H.323 Registrars disabled by defaultFor enhanced security with IP Office R 11.0 FP4, the H.323 and SIP Registrars are disabled bydefault. Whenever a new H,323 or SIP extension is added and the corresponding registrar is notenabled, IP Office system displays a warning message and prompts administrators to enable theRegistrars. When resiliency support is enabled on an IP Office Line in systems having IPextensions and the systems do not have the corresponding registrars enabled, IP Office systemdisplays a warning message and prompts administrators to enable the corresponding registrars.

Chapter 13: Messaging features

Messaging enables users to manage all of their messages, both emails and voicemails, in oneplace. Since the main messaging platform is typically email, IP Office enables users to managevoicemails through the email system in order to keep all messages synchronized through one userinterface. IP Office offers two voicemail options: Embedded Voicemail and Voicemail Pro.

Voicemail in general provides a phone answering machine with a personalized greeting on everyemployee's desk and allows callers to leave spoken messages when the user cannot answer aphone call. Voicemail messages are retrieved either locally or remotely via any phone (users areprompted for a PIN if they are using any phone other than their allocated extension or a trustedlocation e.g. mobile phone).

The voicemail server is multilingual and can offer different prompts depending on the user'spreferred language, independently of the default system setup. Similarly, external callers can hearprompts in their own language depending on their incoming call route (for example, based on callerID).

Voicemail options available are:

• IP Office Essential Edition Embedded Voicemail enables some basic messaging through theability to forward voicemail messages to the user's email inbox.

• IP Office Preferred Edition

- Voicemail Pro - for single site use but use in an SCN from remote users

- Distributed Voicemail Pro - for multisite use in an SCN

- Centralized Modular Messaging - for use with Avaya Aura® Communication Manager

Hot DeskingHot desking allows users nonexclusive use of the a single extension.

Users log with their own identity so they can receive calls and can access their voicemail andother facilities. For example, sales personnel who visit the office infrequently can be provided withtelephony and voicemail services without being permanently assigned a physical extension. Whenfinished, they simply log out to make the extension available to others or if users log in at anotherphone, they are automatically logged out of the original extension.

Support for Hot desking on SIP function phones such as J129 and H175 are not available from IPOffice Release 10.1. This includes Hot desking through CTI or the standard short codes; *35 and*36 by default. The SIP function phones on IP Office do not support clearing of user contacts andcall history when a new user logs in to those phones through Hot desking. This can result in oneuser having visibility to another user’s contacts and call history information.

Remote access featuresIP Office's integral firewall, service quotas and timebands all apply to remote access calls. Remoteaccess security can be supplemented by CHAP (encrypted passwords) to verify the end users, orPAP which does not support encryption. Timebands can control the hours within which the remoteaccess service is available.

A trusted location can be set for dial in. These are locations that the system will allow either dataaccess, for example, a user dialing in from home, or access to voicemail without a voicemail codefor a user collecting their voicemail messages from a mobile. The trusted location is also thelocation the voicemail server will call to inform the user of a new message.

Conversely a specified location can be set which restricts remote access from only that location,this specified location can also be a designated dial back number thereby minimizing the threat ofunauthorized remote access.

IP Office can also incorporate remote access dial back services so that if a user always remotelyaccesses the office from a single location, for example, their home, then after login verification, thesystem disconnects their call and dials them back. In addition to the added level of security dialback provides, it can also be an excellent method of consolidating remote access charges ontothe central office phone bill.

In addition to remote access from phone adaptors, all ATM4 trunk cards (including the IP500 V2Combination Card ATM) support switching of the first analog trunk to an integral V.32 modem forremote access.

Remote hot deskingUsers can make and receive calls from any office as if using the phone on their own desk. Usershave access to the centralized system and personal directory as well as their call logs (availableon digital, analog and IP phones).

When a user logs in to a remote IP Office system, all their user settings are transferred to thatsystem.

• The user's incoming calls are rerouted across the SCN.

• The user's outgoing calls use the settings of the remote IP Office.

• However some settings may become unusable or may operate differently. For example, if theuser uses a time profile for some features, those feature will only work if a time profile of thesame name also exists on the remote IP Office.

IP Office supports remote hot desking between IP Office systems within an SCN. The system onwhich the user configured is termed their “home” IP Office, all other systems are “remote” IPOffices. No additional licenses are required to support remote hot desking other than the Voice

Networking license on each IP500 V2 within the SCN. A single number provides improved mobilityand easy access to familiar features. For example consultants, managers, and lawyers can usetheir phone services at different offices on different days.

In some scenarios a hot desking user logged in at a remote system will want to dial a numberusing the system short codes of another system. This can be done using either short codes withthe Break Out feature or a programmable button set to Break Out. This feature can be used byany user within the SCN but is of significant use to remote hot deskers.

Note:

Remote hot desking is not supported for use with contact center. Features handled by thephone itself are not affected by hot desking, for example, call log and phone speed dials)

Remote WorkerRemote Worker allows the connection of supported IP phones and client applications remotelyfrom IP Office, without requiring any VPN concentrator equipment with IP Office.

With the Remote Worker feature enabled, remote 9600 H.323 or SIP J100 IP Phones can connectto IP Office even if it is located behind a NAT router. The same applies to supported clientapplications, see supported SIP endpoints on page 73. The sets or applications areauthenticated on IP Office in the same way as if in the private network. The IP Office determinesthat the user is located outside the private network and relays the VoIP RTP traffic to ensure ittransverses the NAT router.

The following 9600 phones are supported:

• 9620, 9630, 9640, 9650

Note:

The H.323 signaling and the media traffic is not encrypted however the proprietary binaryformat adds a basic level of encryption.

• 9608, 9611, 9621, 9641

Note:

The H.323 signaling and media traffic may be encrypted using TLS and SRTPrespectively.

The following SIP endpoints are supported:

• Avaya J100 Series IP Phones:

- J129 (Standard SIP phone)

Figure 1: Remote Worker interactions

SIP phones using Avaya SBCEThe Avaya Session Border Controller for Enterprise (Avaya SBCE) sits on the edge of customer’snetwork with both internal and external IP interfaces. Using these IP interfaces, Avaya SBCEfunctions as the gateway for SIP traffic into and out of the network. When used internally, SIPclients register to the IP Office directly. When used externally, the SIP clients connect to the AvayaSBCE. This is achieved using Split DNS, which automatically resolves the FQDNs to the internalIP address of the IP Office or the public IP address of the Avaya SBCE depending on where theclients are currently located. Apart from acting as a gateway, Avaya SBCE also providesprotection against any external SIP-based attacks. For privacy over the public internet, the publicside of the Avaya SBCE facing the remote workers must be configured to use the recommendedvalues of TLS for signaling and SRTP for media encryption, as long as they are supported by theendpoints.The following endpoints are supported as IP Office Remote Workers with Avaya SBCE.

• Avaya J100 Series IP Phones:- J129 (Standard SIP phone)- J139, J159, J169, J179, J189 (SIP Feature phones)

Telecommuter modeUsers can make and receive calls and the retrieve voicemails from an external phone number as ifthey were in the office, with the server providing the call control.

The typical scenario is the remote worker that occasionally works from home or from a hotel room.This feature also provides billing convenience and potential cost savings for remote workers andmobile work force as all the calls are established by IP Office. There is no need to check bills or topay for expensive hotel calls.

TwinningTwinning allows a primary extension and a secondary number (extension or external) to operatetogether as a single phone.

Twinning allows calls to a user main extension number to alert at both that extension and asecondary extension. This feature is aimed primarily at users who have both a desk phone and awireless extension. Calls from the secondary twinned extension are presented as if from the user'smain extension. Presentation of call waiting and busy is based on whether either of the twinnedextensions is in use.

When a call is presented to the primary phone the secondary will ring. If the primary phone doesnot ring, for example in Do Not Disturb, the secondary phone will not ring.

This is typically used in scenarios like workshops or warehouses where team supervisors mayhave a desk with a fixed phone but also have a wireless extension (e.g. DECT). When a call ismade from either twinned phone, the call will appear to have come from the primary phone. Otherusers of the system need not know that the supervisor has two different phones. The supervisor’sCoverage Timer and No Answer Time are started for the call and if the call is not answered withinthat time, the call will be delivered to available coverage buttons and then voicemail.

Fallback TwinningIP Office redirects calls to the users twinned external phone numbers when the primary extensionsare unreachable even when the Mobile Twinning is disabled. This feature provides a mechanismfor failing over to an external device such as mobile and PSTN if a customer site supporting IPOffice phones loses connectivity with the Cloud data center.

The following two short codes are available for disabling and enabling mobile Fallback Twinning:

• Set Fallback Twinning Off: To disable Fallback twinning

• Set Fallback Twinning On: To enable Fallback twinning

When Fallback Twinning feature is enabled:

• If Mobile Twinning is enabled – the only change will be to ignore the Mobile Dial Delay settingif the user’s devices are unreachable.

• If Mobile Twinning is disabled – and if the user has no reachable devices, the normalevaluation of all Mobile Twinning conditions is performed, and if met, calls are redirected tothe twinned mobile number immediately, that is, ignoring the Mobile Dial Delay setting.

Simplified Mobile AccessThe standard behavior of the Mobile Call Control feature gives a Mobile Worker fresh dial-tone if acall recipient clears its call. This is intended operation as it prevents the Mobile Worker fromdialing in again to make any further calls. Simplified Mobile Access introduces a new set of FNEs(FNE35, FNE36, and FNE 37) to clear the call on call completion; no dial-tone is provided after thecall ends.

Incombination with one of these phones and the most popular VPN gateway products, the softwareextends enterprise telephony to remote locations. VPN functionality is supported on 9600 IPphones and does not require additional software.

VPN Phone works in the following situations:

• Virtual Office workers

• Remote workers

• Remote call center

• Business continuity support

• Very small locations that require a single phone only

• Temporary installations such as conferences, off-site meetings, and trade shows

Note:

J100 phones with SIP do not support VPN phone.

VPN Phone has been tested with a number of VPN-gateways from major vendors like Cisco orJuniper as well as with smaller VPN-access devices from companies like Adtran, Kentrox,Netgear, and SonicWall. Refer to the support pages (support.avaya.com) for a list of availableapplication notes on VPN-gateways tested with each line of phones.

Alternate Route SelectionIf a primary trunk is unavailable, then Alternate Route Selection (ARS) provides automatic fallbackto an available trunk, for example, analog trunk fallback if a T1 or SIP trunk fails, or use PSTN forSCN fallback.

By configuring ARS, the system can route calls through the optimum carrier. You can also usetime profiles to take advantage of less expensive rates or better quality at specific times of day.

Multiple carriers are supported. For example, local calls are to go through one carrier betweenspecific hours and international calls through an alternative carrier. Carrier selection using two-stage call set up through in-band DTMF is possible. It is possible to assign specific routes on a peruser basis to only allow expensive routes to be used by critical staff.

Auto ConnectIf a service is idle, that is no one is using the internet, Auto Connect allows the system toperiodically connect to a service. This is ideal for mail polling to retrieve email from an internetservice provider. An Auto Connect Time Profile controls the time period during which automaticcalls are made, for example not at weekends or during the middle of the night.

CallbackThree types of call back are supported:

Link ControlProtocol (LCP)

After authentication the incoming call is dropped and an outgoing call ismade to a predefined number to reestablish the link.

Microsoft CallbackControl Protocol(CP)

After authentication from both ends, the incoming call is dropped and anoutgoing call to a predefined number made to reestablish the link.

Extended CallbackControl Protocol(CBCP)

Similar to Callback CP however, the Microsoft application at the remoteend will prompt for a phone number. An outgoing call will then be madeto that number to reestablish the link.

FirewallIP Office integrated firewall provides packet filtering of the most common IP protocols includingFile Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Internet browsing (HTTP). Each protocol passing through thefirewall can be restricted/allowed access in four different ways:

Drop No sessions using this protocol will be allowed through the firewall.

In An incoming session can get through the firewall to allow traffic in both directions.

Out An outgoing session can get through the firewall to allow traffic in both directions.

Bothway An incoming or outgoing sessions can get through the firewall to allow traffic in bothdirections.

In cases where a protocol is not supported by default, the firewall can be customized to controlpackets based on their content.

IP Office allows the configuration of as many firewalls as needed through IP Office Manager. Thispermits different security regulations to be applied to individual dial-in users and data services.

Related linksNetwork features on page 79

Internet AccessIP Office provides shared, secure, high-speed access to the internet via exchange lines (CentralOffice), digital leased lines or IP VPN services.

IP Office handles internet security with an integrated firewall removing the need for a standalonefirewall. System administrators can configure the firewall to accommodate a variety of situationsand to control who can access external resources and when.

The firewall isolates private networks from the internet, ensuring that the network remains beyondthe reach of hackers, while allowing service quotas to be set against a remote access service toensure authorized users can gain access. Service Quotas place a time limit on outgoing calls to aparticular IP Service so limiting costs.

Each service can be configured with an alternative fall back, for example, to connect to an ISPduring working hours and at other times take advantage of varying call charges from an alternativeISP. Or, set up one service to connect during peak times and another to act as fallback during thecheaper period.

Network Numbering SchemesIP Office provides flexible network numbering options. The system can manipulate dialed digitsadding or removing digits and access codes to fit into any numbering scheme. Two types ofnumbering schemes are commonly deployed: linked numbering and node numbering.

In linked numbering schemes each site within the network has a unique range of extensionnumbers and users simply dial the extension number of the called party. Often, linked numberingschemes are used in very small networks (less than 5 sites) with less than 500 extensions.

With node numbering schemes, each site is given a node ID and this is prefixed by the user whendialing extensions at other sites. In this way extension numbers can be replicated across siteswhile still appearing unique across the network. Node numbering schemes are common in largernetworks.

Linked numbering schemes and node numbering schemes are sometimes both used within thesame network with node numbering used at the large offices and linked numbering employed atclusters of satellite offices.

Related linksNetwork features on page 79

Service QuotasIP Office can be configured to limit the maximum number of minutes that a service, such asInternet Access, is available for each user. This is the sum total of calls made and does notinclude periods of inactivity. Once the quota has been used the service is no longer available. Thequota can be either automatically refreshed daily, weekly or monthly or manually refreshed bydialing a secure feature code on a handset.

Time ProfilesTime Profiles can be used to define when a Service, Hunt Group, Least Cost Route, ConferenceBridge or a user's dial-in facility are operational. For example, a time profile can be used to routehunt group calls to a manned extension or voicemail outside of office hours, or be used to applydifferent Least Cost Routes at varying times of day to take advantage of cheaper call rates.Multiple Time Entries can be created so that a Time Profile can be used to define specific hours inthe day e.g. 09:00-12:00 and 13:00-17:00. Outside of a Time Profile, voice calls would be re-routed according to the configuration but any currently connected calls at the time the Time Profilechanges would not get cut off as the change only affects the routing. Data calls will get cut off as

Remote Hot Desking Users can hot desk between IP Office systems within the network.The system on which the user configured is termed their home IPOffice; all other systems are remote IP Office systems.

Breakout Dialing This feature allows the user to select an IP Office system in thenetwork from a displayed list and then dial a subsequent numberas if dialing locally on the chosen system. This feature is triggeredeither by a programmable button or short code.

ResiliencyAs an example, in an SCN configuration of System A and System B where the centralizedvoicemail is connected to System B, and a number of IP phones are connected to either System Aor System B. If System B fails then:

• System A will automatically take over from System B and support IP phones, hunt groups,and DHCP if required.

• Voicemail Pro will reregister to System A.• For users in an SCN, when they hot desk to another IP Office system, they retain their

licensed profile setting as configured on their home system.• All System B users' personal contacts and call logs will continue to be available (96x1, 9600,

and 1600 phones).For multisite networks, VCM modules are required in all systems being connected. The IP linesmay be configured in a start or a meshed configuration. One of the advantages of a meshedconfiguration is that it removes the risk of a single point of failure within the network. Also thenames and numbers (groups, line, services, etc.) on the separate IP Office systems should beunique to reduce potential maintenance confusion.EachIP Office system broadcasts UDP messages on Port 50795. These broadcasts typically recurevery 30 seconds but BLF updates are potentially more frequent. There are no updates if there isno activity and the overall level of traffic is very low - typically less than 1 kbps per system.Multisite networking is supported between IP Office systems with differing software levels butnetwork features will be based on the lowest level of software within the network.

DHCP ServerIP Office can manage your IP Network for you through its integral DHCP Server. IP Office can beconfigured to hold a pool of IP addresses for users on the Local Area Network. When a userpowers up their PC, the system will allocate them an IP address for the duration of their session.The DHCP server also provides the user's PC with the address of the Domain Name Service(DNS) server and the Windows Name Service (WINS) server. Alternatively, for customers whohave a separate DHCP Server, IP Office can be configured to obtain its address from that DHCPserver or be set with its own static IP address. IP500 V2 has two independent DHCP servers,each one dedicated to Layer 3 switched LANs.

Related linksNetworking services on page 85

Domain Name Service (DNS) ProxyDomain Name Service servers provide the translation of names such as www.avaya.com to thedomain's IP address required to establish a connection. IP Office provides this service to PCs onthe network by proxy.

Related linksNetworking services on page 85

LAN/WAN ServicesThe IP500 V2 supports a firewalled 2 port Layer 3 Ethernet Switch.

When computers on the LAN communicate they do not care where the destination is, they justsend messages with the address of the destination. These messages are likely to be received atall other computers on the same network but only one - the target destination - will act on themessage. Where the destination is on another network, the router is needed to be the "gateway"to the rest of the world and find the optimum route to send the message on to the destination. Therouter alleviates the need to establish and hold a call for the duration of a communication session(when messages or IP packets are being sent between source and destination) by automaticallyestablishing a connection only when data is to be passed. Routers may be connected togetherusing WAN (Wide Area Network) links that could be point-to-point leased lines, managed IPnetworks, Frame Relay networks or exchange lines (Central Office). The IP Office systemsupports all of these types of network connections.

IP Office has an integral router with support for bandwidth on demand that allows the negotiationof extra bandwidth dynamically over time. Where connection is over ISDN, IP Office initiates extradata connections between sites only when there is data to be sent or sufficient data to warrantadditional channels. It then drops the extra channels when they are no longer needed. The calls

are made automatically, without the users being aware of when calls begin or end. The rules formaking calls, how long to keep calls up etc, are configurable within IP Office.

It is possible to have several different routing destinations or paths active at any time linking theoffice to other offices and the Internet simultaneously.

LAN to LAN RoutingAll businesses now have a need for data routing whether it's a requirement to share resourcessuch as email servers, file servers and internet gateways, or seamlessly transport data betweensites or network to and from their customers and suppliers. This is why each IP Office platformoffers IP routing as standard.

Embedding a router within IP Office removes the costs, complexity and additional points of failureof external WAN multiplexers by allowing data and voice traffic to converge and share the networkresources of IP Office. These network resources can range from dial up ISDN connections, point-to-point leased circuits, managed IP networks or Frame Relay as IP Office supports all thesetypes of network connections.

Integral 10/100 Mbit Layer 3 Ethernet SwitchLayer 3 switching is particularly useful in situations where it is desirable to have a 'trusted' and'unsecured' network, where the 'unsecured' network is uncontrolled and carries public traffic on it.

It is possible to set up a firewall between two LAN segments using the IP Office layer 3 switch.IP500 V2 supports a two-port Layer 3 Ethernet switch with the firewall between them. Both ofthese switched ports have their own IP addresses (LAN1 and LAN2) and in order for traffic to passfrom one port to the other, a route is configured in the system's routing tables.

Leased Line SupportIP Office is capable of connecting to leased line services.

IP Office WAN services are supported over E1/T1 PRI trunks and BRI trunks. E1/T1 trunks can beconfigured to operate in a fractional mode for 'point to multi-point' applications i.e. a single 2Minterface could be treated as 3 x 512K and 8 x 64K going to 11 different locations. When using T1

Remote Access ServerIP Office provides Remote Access Server (RAS) functionality allowing external users to dial in tothe local area network from modems, phone adaptors and routers.

Several of the previously described features and services can be applied to the dial-in users tocreate RAS capabilities. Dial-in users can be authenticated using either PAP or CHAP. Onceauthenticated the DHCP server can automatically assign the user an IP address to use whileconnected to the LAN. Individual time profiles and firewalls can be applied to the user restrictingwhat they have access to and when they have access. For further security and accounting ease,IP Office can automatically call a user back. This keeps the cost of the phone call on the companyphone bill removing the need to process individual expense claims.

SSL/VPN Remote AccessSSL/VPN remote access provides Avaya and Avaya partners with reliable remote access thatenhances service delivery while reducing the cost associated with truck rolls. The solution enablespartners of any size to create an infrastructure that automates management and maintenance ofIP Office systems.

IP Office software includes an embedded SSL/VPN client. On the server side (should the partnerdecide to host the server side), the partner will need to install a server (VM) and install the AvayaVPN Gateway (AVG) software. The Partner will establish the SSL/VPN Gateway configuration onthe IP Office so that the IP Office can trigger a secure tunnel back to the Gateway.

A username/password is setup during the configuration step for security purposes. A second levelof security is also provided with a server-side certificate authentication. A radius server will thenvalidate the username/password upon connection request initiated from the IP Office. Once thecredentials are validated, the secure remote access is established.

At a minimum, the partner needs to ensure that a broadband connection is available at thecustomer site. A partner deciding to host the server side can purchase (scale as you go) theSSL/VPN licenses based on how many simultaneous connections are required. The AVG softwareis installed on a VM server software (the partner can choose the server of their choice) and set upa radius server for username/password authentication. The same VM server can also act as aradius server or the partner can use a separate radius server or reuse an existing radius serverbased on their IT department's recommendations and security policy.

Partners wanting to host the server side gateway should refer to the Avaya enterprise portal formore detailed information about the Avaya VPN gateway solution (see https://enterpriseportal.avaya.com/ptlWeb/gs/products/P0623/AllCollateral).

SSL/VPN remote access provides the following functionality:

• Secure remote access at broadband speeds for enhanced support

• Simple configuration and deployment

• Scaling to accommodate future growth requirements

• Networking expertise not required at the customer site (No IT admin required at the customersite)

• No requirement to open holes in the firewall (Firewall-agnostic as the connection is initiatedfrom the customers' site to the Gateway)

• Connection can be “Always-ON” or can be initiated via Dial-Up or Phone.

• Facilitation of remote configuration, management, monitoring, diagnostics, and upgrades.

For outgoing calls, IP Office can insert a system wide caller ID or set a flag to have caller IDwithheld. For users with a direct dial number routed to their extension, IP Office uses that numberas their caller ID for outgoing calls. Alternatively, IP Office can use short codes to specify the callerID that should be sent with outgoing calls.

Digital and IP phones have programmable buttons which can be assigned to various features.When those buttons include some form of BLF indicator, the button can also be used to indicatewhen the feature is active. For example, a button associated with another user will indicate whenthat user is active on a call. A button associated with a group will indicate when the group hascalls waiting to be answered.The directory entries in and the speed dial icons within the Phone Manager and SoftConsoleapplications also act as BLFs. When the icons are associated with internal users, the icons willchange to indicate the current status of the users.Avaya one-X® Portal for IP Office shows these conditions:

Web ManagerWeb Manager is a browser-based management tool designed to simplify the installation andmaintenance process and provides access to most, but not all, IP Office configuration settings.Web Manager eliminates the need to have windows operating system because it can run on anydevice that supports standard browsers.

Granular access:

Web Manager provides service users with access to entire configuration objects if the service userhas the configuration access. However, large customers who have multiple service users roles orcustomers having deployments in the cloud environment need to have granular configurationaccess for different service users. Hosting partners will be able to build an account for customer orre-seller with limited permissions. These permissions shall restrict the customer or re-seller fromperforming activities that affects service of the system.

Configuration dashboard:

The Dashboard is a simplified version of the existing IP Office Web Manager and is presented tothe administrators when a fresh single-node IP Office system is installed. The Dashboard consistsof minimum required set of configuration fields to set up the system. The full setup can beperformed anytime afterwards.

System Status Application (SSA)The System Status Application (SSA) is a diagnostic tool for system managers and administratorsto monitor and check the status of IP Office systems locally or remotely. SSA shows both thecurrent state of an IP Office system and details of any problems that have occurred. Theinformation reported is a combination of real-time events, historical events, status andconfiguration data to assist fault finding and diagnosis. SSA provides real-time status, historicutilization and alarm information for ports, modules and expansion cards on the system. SSAconnects to all variants of IP Office using an IP connection that can be remote or local. Modemconnections at 14.4kbps or above are supported for remote diagnostics.

SSA provides information on the following:

Alarms SSA displays all alarms which are recorded within IP Office for each device inerror. The number, date and time of the occurrence is recorded. The last 50alarms are stored within IP Office to avoid need for local PC.

Call Details Information on incoming and outgoing calls, including call length, call ID androuting information.

Extensions SSA details all extensions (including device type and port location) on the IPOffice system. Information on the current status of a device is also displayed.SSA shows IP Extensions that were registered but no longer available and IP

extensions that are configured but have not been registered after last re-boot.This helps to spot phones that are Idle, disconnected, or are misconfigured.SSA also shows quarantined phones and blacklisted extensions and IPaddresses.

Trunks IP Office trunks and connections (VoIP, analog and digital) and their currentstatus are displayed. For VoIP trunks, QoS information is also displayed (e.g.round trip delay, jitter and packet loss).

SystemResources

IP Office includes central resources that are utilized to perform variousfunctions. Diagnosing these resources is often critical to the successfuloperation of the system. This includes details on resources for VCM, Voicemailand conferencing.

QoSMonitoring

QoS Parameters from connected calls, such as jitter and roundtrip delay, aremonitored.

SSA can be launched independently or from IP Office Manager and there can be up to two (2)SSA clients connected to an IP Office unit at one time.

Note: SSA is not a configuration tool for IP Office systems.

SysMonitorUse SysMonitor to troubleshoot IP Office from both local (LAN) and remote locations (WAN).

Select the protocols and interfaces to monitor and diagnose through a graphical interface. Capturetraces directly to the screen or as a log file for later analysis. Color code different traces to improvethe clarity in large files. The utility also captures system alarms and displays the activity log of thelast 20 alarms that have occurred.

Customer Operations ManagerCustomer Operations Manger is an administration tool that allows multi-customer management ofsubscription mode IP Office systems. It is accessed by browser from the same cloud-basedservers that are providing the subscriptions for systems.

The tool enables management of IP Office Server Edition systems and provides the followingcapabilities:

SNMP Management ConsoleSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an industry standard designed to allow themanagement of data equipment from different vendors using a single Network Managerapplication. The Network Manager periodically polls equipment to solicit a response, if noresponse is received an alarm is raised. In addition to responding to polls, IP Office monitors thestate of its Extensions, Trunk cards, Expansion Modules and Media cards so that if an error isdetected IP Office will notify the Network Manager.

As the IP Office platform comprises many applications, the core software notifies SNMP eventsfrom both Voicemail Pro and Embedded Voicemail to warn of approaching storage capacity limits.

IP Office sends email notifications directly to the email server; no additional PC client is needed.

On customer sites where SNMP management is not available, IP Office can email events using upto 3 email addresses each containing a different set of alarms.

The following system event categories can be chosen for email notification, if installed on thesystem:

• Generic

• Trunk lines

• Embedded Voicemail Card

• VCM

• Expansion modules

• Applications

• License

• Phone change

• CSU Loop-Back

Networking protocol standardsProtocol RFC DescriptionPoint-to-Point Protocol(PPP)

RFC1661 WAN protocol that allows interworking with a wide rangeof third-party routers. PPP is used over leased line circuitswhere a single channel is used to connect the twolocations together. For example, a single channel maybea 64K channel on a dial-up circuit or a 256K leased lineetc.

Link Control Protocol(LCP)

RFC1570 In PPP, LCP establishes, configures and tests data-linkInternet connections.

Multi-Link Point-to-PointProtocol (ML-PPP)

RFC1990 Allows additional calls to be made where bandwidthgreater than a single channel is required. The maximumnumber of channels available to data can be set on aservice-by-service basis. When the available bandwidthreaches a user defined limit additional channels can beautomatically added. Similarly, when traffic falls then thenumber of channels in use can be automatically reduced.If there is no data traffic on any of the channels in usethen all lines can be cleared. Since most carriers have aminimum charge for calls, the period that a channel has tobe idle before clearing is configurable. Through thesemechanisms call costs can be effectively controlled whileensuring that bandwidth is available as and when it isneeded.

Internet Protocol ControlProtocol (IPCP)

RFC1332 A Network Control Protocol (NCP) for establishing andconfiguring IP over a PPP.

Internet Protocol HeaderCompression (IPHC)

- Reduces the header size of the data packet to gainbandwidth efficiency over WANs, but adds to transmissionlatency.

Password AuthenticationProtocol (PAP)

RFC1334 A method of authenticating the remote end of aconnection using unencrypted passwords.

Real-time TransportProtocol (RTP)

Real-time TransportControl Protocol (RTCP)

RFC1889 RTP defines a standardized packet format for deliveringaudio and video over IP networks.

RTCP works with RTP to send control packets to callparticipants to provide feedback on the quality of service.

Challenge HandshakeAuthentication Protocol(CHAP)

RFC1994 Allows an incoming data call to be authenticated usingencrypted passwords. The system also provides theoption to periodically reaffirm the authenticity of the callerduring the data call.

Compression ControlProtocol (CCP)

RFC1962 Configures, enables and disables data compressionalgorithms on both ends of the PPP link. Also used forsignal a failure.

Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol(DHCP)

RFC1533 Dynamically distributes network configuration parameterson and IP network such as IP addresses for interfacesand services.

Network AddressTranslation (NAT)

RFC1631 A mechanism that allows the use of different IP addresson a private network behind a router with a public IPAddress. When connecting to the Internet, ISPs typicallywant a customer to use an IP address they haveallocated. Using NAT this is easily accommodated,eradicating the need for the customer to change theirnetwork numbering scheme and providing additionalsecurity to the internal users as their address in hidden tothe public.

Typically, a company maps its internal network addressesto a global external IP address and unmaps the global IPaddress on incoming packets back into internal IPaddresses. This helps ensure security since eachoutgoing or incoming request must go through atranslation process. This also offers the opportunity toqualify or authenticate the request or match it to aprevious request. NAT also conserves the number ofglobal IP addresses that a company needs.

RFC1058

RFC2453

RFC1722

Adistance vector protocol that allows routers to determinethe shortest route to a destination network. It does this bymeasuring the number of intermediary routers that needto be traversed to reach the destination network. If morethan one route exists to the same destination the shortestroute is used. If a fault occurs on the shortest route it willbe remarked as being infinite and any alternative route willbecome the new shortest route. This behavior can beused to add resilience into a data network. Where acustomer has an existing data network comprising of thirdparty routers, IP Office added to the network can provideback up using its routing and dial-up capability. RIPenabled routers share their knowledge of the network witheach other by advertising and listening to routing tablechanges. IP Office Supports both the RIP I and RIP IIstandards.

RFC2661

RFC3193

PPP authentication using PAP or CHAP takes placebetween directly connected routers only. When using apublic IP Network to connect sites this authenticationtakes place between the customers router and the serviceprovide router that it is connected to. In somecircumstances it is desirable to authenticate between thecustomer owned routers, jumping over all the intermediaryrouters of the service provider's network. Layer 2Tunneling Protocol allow this to happen by facilitating atwo stage authentication, firstly with the service providerrouter then the customer router on the remote network.

IPSec tunnels allow a company to pass data betweenlocations over unsecured IP networks such as the publicinternet. The company data is secured using 3DESencryption making it unintelligible to other parties thatmight be 'eaves dropping' on the traffic. Tunneling can beapplied to link offices together or provide workers accessto the office over the internet. All IP Office systemssupport up to a total of 256K worth of encrypted traffic tomultiple locations. Initially, inter-working is supported onlybetween IP Offices that are connected either directly on aWAN port or via the LAN using a third-party router. IPSecis optional and enabled on IP Office through a LicenseKey.
